Galley and head sink drains
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:54 pm
Hi,
My galley (double) sink as well as single head sink both drain into 1 1/2" seacock just forward of the galley sink. 3/4" seacock above it is piped to supply flush water for the toilet. Wit the seacock open to drain sinks 3/4" line to head sink fills with seawater and is almost full for the entire length. Standing sea water can start smelling so has anyone plumbed their drains differently. On the sink drain do you have a loop to prevent the smell returning when the water drains? Any better ways of plumbing lines to prevent standing water and bad smell?
